Itinerary description

The track starts at the museum in Seyitghazi and continues to the monastery complex (on top of a hill).
After a visit to the monastery, the path goes to Orencik. From there, the lovely path is curling through the hills and shows panoramic views. From Orencik there is a path to Saricailias via Sancar, but due aggressive dogs it's better to avoid it. On advance of the local villagers, the indicated track avoids that road and takes a more quiet road.
Saricailya is a pretty village with a central pond and nice and hospital people.
Muhtar Salih Er, Imam Ibrahim Caniglur
